I found this quest to be a lot easier if you clear out the path to the silverwing hold and the little house as well before you start the quest. He will run directly in to the house and not have to fight his way in. When you get in the house he'll walk around for a second and then 4 mobs will come in. Healers can heal the NPCs and just let them fight. Keep Torek alive or you fail the quest. If you die and Torek is still up, don't release until he has killed the mobs, you should still get credit for the quest.

Comment by Warguppy

The biggest problem with finishing this quest it would seem is Alliance people coming and killing Torek to keep you from completing it. That happened to me 3 times in one evening.

Comment by Spideynw

I have tried 3 times and failed every time. We killed everything and then Torek just stands there and the last 4 elves never appear.

Comment by Minoton

Completed last night without difficulty. I cleared the path up to the Outpost, and the Outpost itself, before running back and initiating the quest. Torek and his three henchmen then ran (no walking!) up inside the Outpost.

We waited maybe fifteen seconds or so before Duriel and three night elf NPCs spawned inside. After defeating them, Torek ordered me to report to Splintertree while he and his forces held the Outpost. I did not wait to see if/when he despawned.

Comment by Borano

Make sure that the other Horde warriors have spawned before you start the quest. The first time I attempted it, I was under the impression that he would summon help ... I was wrong.

In agreement with previous posters, clearing the path and the house first help speed the quest up.

Comment by llDemonll

Torek still despawns after 2 minutes, quest is not fixed as of 4/16/2007.

Tried 3 times so far still to no avail.

Comment by keppi

Failed all time

Comment by Kinoko

as of 17/05/07, torek does not regen hp out of combat like other "escort" npcs do - started the quest with only him around and figured I could just solo it, but by the time the four nightelves appeared, he was at 40% hp and died.

Comment by Mitaki

If you rolled a class that is unable to heal the NPC's and a having difficulty keeping Torek high enough for him to survive the 4 Npc's, then just run away when they spawn and let them all die (quite evil though). If you helped his group take care of the NPC's outside quickly, you can just restart the event after a few minutes, and run straight into the outpost without having to fight a single respawn. Torek then survives easilly versus the Elves.

Comment by Tenjobs

Quest seems bugged, once you clear the room they stand there for a while before the quest fails and they disappear.

Comment by MaGiCo

I attempted this quest as a level 23 paladin, 18/06/07 he stands in the hold and despawns quest failed

i have attempted this quest 3 times but the same occuring every time

Still not fixed

UPDATE: just attempted the quest again, still bugged i give up

Comment by sainter

Quest still bugged as of 30/06/07.. kinda disapointing! oh well

Comment by BaneRules

Worked fine for me on Shattered Hand. I completed it the 7th of July, 07 no problem.

Comment by piggylover

very fun quest just make sure noone dies and thats it did it at like lv 29 cause i didnt see him before i looked on thottbot for more quest to do

Comment by DarkFerret

Just did this on 16 July, using the pre-clear method. No bugging out. Torek and his party ran in, went to the back of the house, and 3 seconds later the NE's spawned. You can almost sit back and watch if you pre-clear.

Comment by sethsecond

tried it 3 times now, not working for me. - July 21, 07

Comment by qillerdaemon

Just tried twice today (30 July), and after clearing the house and running back to Torek, he summoned several other Orcs. But they never appeared! He runs to the house, and 5 (five!) NE appear and slaughter him. I couldn't keep up his health either time, and healing also drew aggro on me. Never stood a chance...

Tried as a 26 BE Priest. Will try once more, but I may wait on this one until later.

Comment by ladiemak

I tried this quest THREE times. Duriel never spawned at all. Failed it all times... Game glitch??

Comment by hissingfauna

just tried this on 07/26/07, Torek and his cronies hung around for a few minutes and then the quest failed. Why is this still glitchy after all this time?

Comment by Iridia

As of 30/08/07, I was able to complete the quest successfully on the first try. I've done this quest once before several months ago with no issues either. Had no idea this kind of glitch was going around.

Comment by tomc

15/9/07 - Did this the regular way, came here to figure out why it had bugged. I then re-did it by clearing first, same result - failed :(.

Comment by Azimiz

26/9/07 - When I accepted the quest, coming to realize after, Torek was standing alone without his Raiders so the end result didn't turn out so good.

So just a point of recommendation; make sure the guards are there!

edit: cool.. I clear the guards and some one jack's the quest from me :(

Comment by oExe

This Quest was broken but repaired (Since 23/09/07) when i reported it broken. The final four elves now spawn correctly....

Comment by Timonl

Completed the quest, as a level 27 Tauren warrior, very easy.

Comment by FuxieDK

2007-10-31... Quest is still bugged, but not always.. This is confirmed by GM.

Third time I tried it, Torek's men was actually there.. Unfortunately, this was also the same time as my internet connection was cut, so I didn't see the end result. :(

Comment by bookworm13

I'm not sure why so many previous comments were downrated. This quest is commonly bugged and hasn't been permanently fixed as of 2.2.3. It is useful information for players to know to contact a GM when it is bugged, and that it can only be fixed during maintenance. Common bugs are Duriel Moonfire and her escort not appearing after the outpost has been cleared and also Torek's escort not respawning after a failed attempt (though that is not really quest breaking).

You should also know that Torek does not regen health when out of combat, and bandaging him does not work. You can only heal him if you have a healing class in your group. If you are going to solo the quest then the above tips about clearing the area beforehand are a great help.

Comment by drumgirl67

This guy doesn't stop to help if you attack mobs first, so just stand back and let him run in, if it's not clear.

Comment by seed

The quest was super bugged for me. Torek did not have any henchmen to help out, and in addition, when he entered the outpost and the 4 mobs spawned, he didn't help fight at all, just walked around aimlessly.

However, after I failed, his 3 henchmen respawned and I completed the quest easily.

Comment by Felshen

Same thing happened to me as Seed and mddd explained.First time I tried, Torek was alone. I started over and he did have his guards with him that time. Confirmed he does not seem to regenerate out of combat unlike most other escorts.

Comment by Wachy

DAMN I knew he had his guys the last time I played with my main, I thought the quest was nerfed or something, but I did it with him alone with my lvl 24 druid. Unfortunately, the 4 spawns went for me, Torek was busy with one of them and I tried to do the best with the other 3, including Duriel, which was a very close combat. I found out that running out of the house will force the foes to run back inside and fight Torek, so I had time to drink and eat, then I ran inside, healed Torek and finished off the guys... gl hf

Comment by raptor386

I had problems with this quest; the group of NE after you take the building would never spawn. Eventually I got it to work, but there's two things I did differently so I'm not sure which one did it. The first thing I did was wait around when the night elves were supposed to spawn until the quest was marked as failed. And the second thing I did was ensure that all 4 orcs were alive when building was completely cleared out.

I figure waiting until the quest times out (a couple minutes) and gets marked as failed properly resets the encounter, whereas abandoning it at that stage does not.

Comment by Feorane

I Also Had the Problem with this quest where Only Torek was helping me and none of his henchmen where there, I got to the very last part then died, after retaking his henchmen spawned and the quest was easy as a level 20 Hunter, and i evan took out a level 23 alli during the quest

Comment by Thalassicus

Heh, and I just thought he was loony or something. Kept talking to his "raiders" that did not exist, I figured he'd gone crazy and they were imaginary friends (sort of like that dwarf in Burning Steppes that's loony). I was surprised to find he's supposed to have guards.

It's a good idea to make sure he has them before starting -- might work to start the quest, let him go die alone, abandon and restart.

Comment by ohexploitable

I didn't have any problems soloing this at all. =\I guess I got lucky? Hahaha

Comment by qberi1

FOR THE HORDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by jonbitor

I find this NPC to be bugged lots of times... I've done this quest more than 10 times, and I had to redo it again in 9 of those 10 times... he simply can't get to the checkpoint where the last wave of elfs come...

Comment by orphne

To echo everyone else's comments; I cleared the whole area first, spoke to the NPC and accepted the quest. No NPCs came with Torek, so it was just me and him. We went straight inside the building, where four Elves ran in from behind us. I thought it would be a good idea to grab the aggro, so thunderclapped then got beaten senseless and died.. !

One long long corpserun later, I get back to my body, so sign of Torek or a boss, just dead Elves, ressed and faught back to Torek only to find him with his three friends, and I wasn't able to talk to him to restart the quest.

I looked in my log to drop what I thought was a failed quest, only for it to be complete. Huh?

Ah well. Very very bugged.

Comment by wkboarder870T

not too hard really, i soloed it at 21. I didn't clear out the elves as everyone before has stated to do, although it might be a good idea since torek and his friends don't regain health unless you heal them. The first time i did the quest he didnt have his 3 friends and we got owned. however the second time, he had his friends and it was easy as pie.

Comment by Full

i realesed my spirit before they killed them :) torek was alive and quest was finished

Comment by pavelb

waited in the house for several minutes until Torek and his henchmen despawned without any additional NE spawns in the area, shortly after I ran out I got the "Failed" message --- BUGGY.

Comment by Skyclad

Just did this quest. Tried it three times before on different chars and it was either bugged (Torek went alone) or Torek pulled all aggro and got killed. He had less than 1% HP left. Phew!

Comment by Chaoscrusader666

I remember doing this on my pally. Twas 27 Ret spec at the time, didnt even see quest giver until I went to get an iron vain.

Torek was alone when I found him. Was pretty easy, I just healed Torek when he needed it. Went inside the building, killed all the mobs, then drank a bit when a pack of NEs agro'd onto Torek. Had to bubble + LoH on Torek but I managed to keep him up and completed the quest.

Also as a side note, it turned on my PvP flag. Luckily I didn't see any allys around hehe...

Comment by peteacc

Still not working, tried again and the druid leader showed up, but terok and his henchment, didnt do anything, just stood there while her and three others killed me, lol!! I give up, thats enough for me :(

Comment by atticus

does being in stealth affect the spawning of the last wave?

Comment by Zilchary

Soloed as a 21 druid. Didn't clear the area either, and the q wasn't bugged at all; we rushed into the building killing all the mobs on the way and then killed the mobs in the building. Then four nelves spawned and we killed them. I had to heal Torek occasionally when he was low on health. Easy q anyway.

Comment by FuxieDK

This quest was bugged when I first tried it 31st October '07 (and was confirmed by a GM to be bugged) and still is yesterday when I attempted it.

Bottom line is, if Torek is alone, when you accept the quest, you might as well, just let him die. You'll never complete the quest.However, today I attempted again, and he had his companions and the quest worked...

Comment by Liad

I tried the quest on 18/08/2008, with all his guards spawned. Completed without any bugs.

Comment by philanthropy

tried this today with Torek + 3 of his guards which i presumed to be all of them, we cleared the outside and inside then they just stood still in the middle for 3 minutes until finally they despawned and marked my quest as failed.

Comment by myhealzpwn

Completed this quest today after 4 tries. First try, everything went according to plan, but i wasn't aware that four mobs spawn after the building is clear, so they all attacked me and and illed me fast, i released, and got the "failed" message before getting back. Had to wait about 10 mins for Torek to respawn. Second try, everything went smooth, but the four mobs never spawned. Torek and his buddies despawned after a few mins and I got another "failed" message. Third try, i cleared out the area while waiting for Terok to respawn, killed the last mob, and while I was drinking about to go accept the quest, a shaman ran by with Terok, but no guards. After waiting for respawn, (yet again), the quest finally went how it was supposed to, but the four mobs spawned before the building was even clear ( good thing I'm a Priest). Had to heal Terok 6 or 7 times, and Fade to lose aggro of the guards that came for me, but ended up completing the quest. This quest is still very bugged as of 8-23-08. Quest can be completed, but will take some luck to get it done on the first try.

Comment by xeiron

This quest sounds easy, it is, but its just buggy for me.At one point, he kill s all the night elves, but moonfire won't show up. so he waits there, and i'm like "what happen? did i win already?" and then i leave the hut, mission fail. what? i didnt do anything!the restart the mission, now she show up, torek killed moonfire, but mission fail, what the f...So as time goes by, i am trying to finish this mission, not just for the exp and item, but the reputation too.

Comment by Corgyll

I have a theory about this quest.Need to do some more testing on other chars though, but i think Duriel Moonfire spawns when Torek and his crew kills the nightelf out on that last 'balcony' or what you can call it.

Try letting Torek run in first and aggro the last nightelf on said balcony and see if it works better.Though it's just a little theory on my part.

Comment by Moonkinz

If ur a Warrior, attack mostly and let torek stay back. Pallys should do half fight and heal torek little bit. Hunters put pet on em and shoot. Druids heal and attack but mostly heal. Priests just heal. Rouges go ahead and sap some or take em out before Torek comes in.Mages just attack and maybe make Torek get aggro then CC them. Locks use voidwalker and put dots. Most importantly, dont attack too much cuz youll get aggro and you dont want like 10 nigh elves killing you. I thought this quest was easy. GOOD LUCK! =)

Comment by moenbase

It's a good idea indeed to clear the camp beforehand. Not only will it be easier. But the Alliance will get a message that the camp is under attack. If you head in first with the NPCs there's a chance that one of the allies check out what's going on and they can, and most likely will ruin your quest by killing the NPCs.And it doesn't matter if you're on a PvP or Normal server, a lvl 70 dude can easily kill these guys while you cry and have to wait for a respawn of 10 minutes or so.

Really annoying imo.

So if you're clearing the camp first, the alliance dude may show up but find nothing interesting but you fighting the ally npcs. Fighting them doesn't get you flagged so if you're lucky the alliance dude will leave you in peace. When done clearing the camp you can get the quest and head in right away with only 3 spawns to kill, after that the quest is complete.

Comment by Hultgren

Rly annoying quest to do as a priest, maybe im a bit low lvl (21) cuz this quest is hard when spawn comes running after the balcony kill. The thing all those spawns did (4 of them) was to attack me instead of Torek, even though it was he who attacked the balcony NE and mainly killed him. 4 mobs on squishy priest in cloth with low mana and hp after the fights = dead priest + failed quest. I believe this quest is totally doable if u get Torek to tank the mobs since he is the only npc u can heal, those other guys cant be healed or buffed with PW:F and that sux as a priest.

Also its bugged if u attack the balcony mob first but if u let Torek engage the last mob on the balcony, it will work just fine =)

Comment by Overcome

Well I must admit that I just had a lot of fun doing this quest. It wasn't bugged for me at all. I almost died at the end cause I had my lock sitting back casting when the reinforcements showed up, so they all jumped on me immediately.

Best part for me though was when I accepted and they ran over the hill, there was an Alliance player sitting there. Maybe he was taking a break or something, I don't know. They proceeded to cut him to pieces while I sat there and watched. Neither one of us was flagged so I couldn't attack him. Lol I know he must have been wondering what the hell just happened to him.

Comment by friedbeans

This quest is bugged on my server.

Whenever a horde player STARTS this quest everyone gets disconnected and the server starts lagging xD

Comment by qillerdaemon

In the several dozen times I've done this quest, a couple of those times, Torek will be by himself at his hill, and you won't find his companions. Some long-term bug, they won't always respawn after someone completes this quest. Try either logging out and back in, to see if they've respawned. And again if they haven't. If they still don't respawn, come back to this quest later. You will -not- want to try this escort with just him and yourself.

Do -not- take this quest from Torek unless you also see his companions!

Comment by Lochlathan

I just did this quest 3 times in a row on my hunter, and every time the night elf needed to complete the quest did not spawn. This has happened in the past with my previous alts. Why doesn't blizz just fix it already? :(

Comment by pAceMakertM

I'm new to the whole priest thing so I'm not sure if the following was suppose to happen, but I MC one of the NE.Torek & Co killed the MC NE then killed me...

Comment by giasine

Quest still bugged.

I did this quest twice on a lvl 24 prot pally. First time quest failed because Duriel and her escort did not spawn after we cleared the outpost.

Second try, she did spawn while we were fighting the sentinel on the balcony.

Heads up- Duriel and her escort ran onto the balcony to fight us. When the sentinel who was stationed on the balcony died, Torek and his raiders ran back into the room and stood there, leaving me alone on the balcony with Duriel and her escort. Luckily I could heal myself, and run back into the room with Duriel and Co. following me, which prompted Torek and his crew to rejoin the fight. So the heads-up is... don't get left on the balcony... :)

Comment by Meribast

Yeah, this is still totally bugged. I escorted Torek and his dudes killing the NE sentinels all along the way. I always killed the 1st one and helped on the rest.

Killed everyone that spawned after we killed all the guards in the building. Torek and all his dudes lived. He said something like thank you and disappeared. I walked the entire length of the building and still said "take silverwing outpost". It did not complete. Very bugged!

I went back to the start of the quest area and no Torek. Will try again, but I might end up abandoning this as an exercise in futility!

Comment by DarkWolfB15

Tried this today on my higher level toon (Going for exalted with Orgrimmar, wolf mounts, etc.) I learned one major detail: DON'T kill the mobs inside the base too quickly. Maybe Torek got sad or something that it wasn't really an assault. And Duriel never showed up. Torek just stood there aimlessly for 10 minutes and then despawned and the quest failed.

GL and don't do what I did lol.

Comment by Gurana

I completed this quest today on my Paladin. I failed the 1st time cause Torek probaly didnt aggro the mob on the balcony.2nd try was a succes. Only difference were that I let Terok aggro the mob.

Comment by Nosbrodahmon

I had to do this quest twice, first I tried to do it with Torek and his companions, letting them helping me with killing the elves, but Duriel didn't spawn and the quest failed.

Then I tried to clear Silverwing Outpost by myself, and then going back to Torek and accepted the quest again, and when we reached the house and he was beside the balcony, Duriel spawned and I got the quest complete.

So, just clear it all and then go back to Torek and take the quest, and then it shouldn't bug :)

Comment by Mkill

For me it worked the other way around.

First i tried clearing the Outpost, but then Duriel and the mobs didn't spawn.

On the second time, I killed the elves together with tored, and when we hit the house, the mobs came and i got quest completed.

Comment by loktar09

killed him when someone was doing the quest :-)

Comment by kjpodsia

While I did not run into a bug as such, I did note, twice, that when the last group of mobs spawn, Torek and his squad have an annoying tendency to all gang up on one mob in the corner, leaving the other three to run across the room and pound on me even though I was standing all the way at the back. Being the minimum level for the quest (20) probably didn't help.

Comment by Spanosa

Just did this quest, Torek had no henchman and I was fighting inside while the four mobs spawned so Torek was already on low health. He died before I was able to do anything. Still very bugged.

Comment by behemoth

I didn't find any quest anymore after patch 4.03. I suppose this NPC is not a quest giver anymore.

Comment by zokez

I just did this quest, he was where he was supposed to be, and i could turn it in without any problems. Smooth as butter!

Comment by Gakknor

I can confirm that Torek - Torek is still in the game as of Patch 4.0.3a. If he is not where he is supposed to be that only means that someone has recently started or finished the quest and just like any other escort quest you must wait for him to respawn.

Comment by Moolenko

Attempted this one twice. After clearing the outpost, Torek and company stood around. The next group of guys never came in and the quest was "failed" after waiting around for a few minutes.

Torek's Assault

Escort Torek on his attack against Silverwing Outpost and Duriel Moonfire, then report to Ertog Ragetusk at Splintertree Post.

Take Silverwing Outpost.

Description

Hey! <class>! Come here!

My raiders and I are about to attack the Silverwing Outpost to the west. Our target is its leader, Duriel Moonfire. Scouts report the outpost is defended heavily with sentinels and warriors. The battle will be glorious!

Do you want to share in the glory, <name>, and aid us? If so, then when it's over you can report our success to my superior, Ertog Ragetusk in Splintertree.
